    SUPER IMPORTANT UPDATE. I lowered the monitors an inch and raised the print an inch and a half. I can now see the whole thing when I'm sitting at my desk. Crisis averted.

    I just picked up a used Canon ip6820 printer for $40 because I wanted a printer again, as I miss what you describe. Can't print anything that size, but it will print up to 13x19 borderless. What you said, makes me realize I made the right decision. Buying a used printer is definitely risky, but it worked out fantastic, as it printed with no issues after just one cleaning run. Came with a new complete set of Canon ink, worth more than what I paid for the printer. Yee haw!

    I noticed some Polaroids on your desk in this video. I don't know if you'd find this interesting or not Nick but last week, while going through a box of old photos I came across one I'd taken with the original Polaroid SX-70 at their introduction/training event in LA making that photo (I believe) 50 years old this year. Polaroid had set up different subjects to shoot. I picked a bowl of fruit and some beaded jewelry. The fruit image showed colors that are still saturated with brilliant yellows and reds with deep blacks.

    I have the same problem with too many photos and a few walls... My plan is to print 4 of my super favorites photos, hang one on the wall, and then when the next season comes, I will take down the print, and store it, put the next print on the wall. Then every season I'll have something different on the wall. (BTW, those 2 photos in this video are my favorites)

    Hey Chris
    I love watching your videos on my TV. When you display the print image you should use a 15% gray background instead of white to better see the image.
    Even though the white border is not that prominent it can impact the way your eye sees color.
    When viewing images, it’s always best to look at them against a neutral gray background.
    Thx Nick.

    Interesting point about sense of accomplishment with building physical objects vs digital content. Digital creates can be every bit as demanding to produce as a fabricated object, but there is definitely a distinct feeling of having an end result you can physically hold and give to someone else that digital/virtual content doesn't possess.

    Pro tip (framer here): put a D-ring on each side of a wide frame like that and skip the wire. Then put two hooks in the wall, spaced apart the same as the D-rings, and it will never tilt or shift on you. Always perfect! You did a nice job cutting down that frame. I have a V-nailer if you need to borrow it. :)
